this is kinda a repost of my build...but shit got in the way a little bit, but here it go's...iv'e got a 88 red targa i pick up abuot 6 weeks back, the car is in real good shape...never been wrecked well from what i can see.....the motor thats in it now has a blown h/g...so i just grabed a semi built 7m for it...the new motor has wisco pistons,arp studs and hks h/g..im thinking it should hold up to a good 350 hp..the parts that i have are lexus afm, rc 550s, 255w fuel pump, aromotive FPR, 3in down pipe
thats about it on the hp side of it....but i also have some other cool parts for it like a 89+front end with clears a brand new harness from the ecu to the motor...<<<<still in the bag from the dealer:icon_wink...some new apiller gauges...3pice spolier<<<<got to have it!!...i think the red supras got to have the 3pice...and a few more odds and ends...but my plans are to just drop the new 7m in and build it back to factory for now an just rock the 3in down pipe...i just want to drive it because it about to be warm here in tennessee...and pius i still need to get the funds for my new intercooler kit and turbo....im not doing that ebay bullshit:nono:...my goals for the hp are going to be in the range of 350 to 400 if everything go's well...so since im not doing the big hp build right now i hope this falls under the proper forum....thanks for your time for reading this and here are some pics to get started........thats my best friend helping me in the shop...his name is SWAT
